Imaging Brain Glucose Metabolism In Vivo Reveals Propionate as a Major Anaplerotic Substrate in Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Imaging Study of Brain Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Background In modern mitochondrial medicine, evaluating the spectrum of brain diseases has been a limiting challenge. This limitation hinders our ability to understand the mechanisms behind the imaging phenotypes of the brains of mitochondrial disease patie...
